Overview: The seminar Symplectic Geometry at the University of Berne in summer 1992 showed that the topic of this book is a very active field, where many different branches of mathematics come tog9ther: differential geometry, topology, partial differential equations, variational calculus, and complex analysis. As usual in such a situation, it may be tedious to collect all the necessary ingredients. The present book is intended to give the nonspecialist a solid introduction to the recent developments in symplectic and contact geometry. Chapter 1 gives a review of the symplectic group Sp(n,R), s

This book presents a thorough, step-by-step introduction to solar and stellar dynamos. Looking first at the ultimate origin of cosmic seed magnetic fields, the antagonists of field amplification are next considered: resistive decay, flux expulsion, and f

Overview: Schwingungen treten als nützliche oder auch als störende Erscheinungenfast überall in Natur und Technik auf. Deshalb ist es wichtig, sie zu verstehen, zu deuten oder auch in gewünschter Weise zu beeinflussen. Das Lehrbuch gibt eine Einführung in die physikalischen Grundlagen und die mathematische Behandlung von Schwingungsproblemen. Die Gliederung folgt einer Einteilung der Schwingungen nach dem Mechanismus ihrer Entstehung. Dieses Konzept hat sich in mehreren Auflagen und Übersetzungen bewährt. Die jetzt vorgelegte überarbeitete und erweiterte Fassung enthält wichtige Betrachtungswe

Overview: Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche.Includes supplementary material: ​Im Wettbewerb um Vertrauen und Ansehen kommt einer werteorientiertenKommunikationskultur eine wichtige Bedeutung zu. Die große Herausforderung für Unternehmen besteht darin, die gewünschten Werte ihren Mitarbeitern auch vermitteln zu können. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht Philipp Schmieja eine äußerst effiziente Möglichkeit, Werte, Einstellungen, Anschauungen und Emotionen zu transportieren: Geschichten. Er geht den Fragen nach, ob durch Storytelling Werte in der internen Unternehmenskommunikation vermittelt werden kön

Overview: Ionomers, that is polymers containing a low concentration of charged units along the chain, have been the subject of increasing interest during the past twenty years. The presence of ionic groups in the poly­ mer changes some of its properties dramatically. Increases in the modu­ lus and the viscosity of several orders of magnitude have been observed, and changes in the glass transition of hundreds of degrees are possible. In addition, diffusion coefficients can be modified drastically. These changes are due primarily to the presence of reversible ionic cross­ links in these material

Overview: This introduction to semi-classical analysis is an extension of a course given by the author at the University of Nankai. It presents for some of the standard cases presented in quantum mechanics books a rigorous study of the tunneling effect, as an introduction to recent research work. The book may be read by a graduate student familiar with the classic book of Reed-Simon, and for some chapters basic notions in differential geometry. The mathematician will find here a nice application of PDE techniques and the physicist will discover the precise link between approximate solutions (B

Overview: .The book .Smart Sensors and MEMS. provides an unique collection of contributions on latest achievements in sensors area and technologies that have made by eleven internationally recognized leading experts from Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Israel, Portugal, Switzerland, Ukraine and USA during the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) in Povoa de Varzim, Portugal, from 8 to 19 September 2003. The aims of this volume are to disseminate wider and in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge about smart sensors and its applications, to create a clear consciousness about the effectivenes

Overview: Mit der Weiterentwicklung palliativer Therapiestrategien gewinnt das Problem der Lebensqualität in der Onkologie immer mehr an Bedeutung. Möglichkeiten zur Beherrschung der Beschwerden einer Tumorerkrankung werden Gegenstand wissenschaftlichen Interesses und Bestandteil onkologischen Wissens. Eine zeitgemäße Krebstherapie zeichnet sich durch die gleichzeitige und gleichwertige Durchführung spezifisch antineoplatischer und symptomatischer Behandlung aus. Das vorliegende Büchlein gibt eine rasche Orientierung über Ätiologie, Diagnostik und Therapie. Die in Betracht kommenden Symptome w

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The authors, Dominique Ladiray and Benoit Quenneville, provide a unique and comprehensive r~view of the X-11 Method of seasonal adjustment. They review the original X-11 Method developed at the US Bureau of the Census in the mid-1960‘s, the X-ll core of the X-ll-ARTMA Method developed at Statistics Canada in the 1970‘s, and the X-11 module in the X- 12-ARTMA Method developed more recently at the Bureau of the Census. The review will prove extremely useful to anyone working in the field of seasonal adjustment who wants to understand the X-11 Method and

Overview: Describes a three-dimensional unified plasticity model for large post-liquefaction shear deformation of sand for parallel computing.Shares many tips on and insights into the basic force response mechaThis thesis focuses on the seismic response of piles in liquefiable ground. It describes the design of a three-dimensional, unified plasticity model for large post-liquefaction shear deformation of sand, formulated and implemented for parallel computing. It also presents a three-dimensional, dynamic finite element analysis method for piles in liquefiable ground, developed on the basis of

Overview: "Stochastic Processes in Quantum Physics" addresses the question ‘What is the mathematics needed for describing the movement of quantum particles‘, and shows that it is the theory of stochastic (in particular Markov) processes and that a relativistic quantum particle has pure-jump sample paths while sample paths of a non-relativistic quantum particle are continuous. Together with known techniques, some new stochastic methods are applied in solving the equation of motion and the equation of dynamics of relativistic quantum particles. The problem of the origin of universes is discussed

Overview: The collection of papers published in this book was initially presented at the Workshop on Software Factories and Ada, held on Capri, May 26-30, 1986. The subject of the book is software development environments. Software development is treated from three viewpoints: methodologies, language issues and mechanisms. Of particular interest are the discussions of automation of the development process and the formalization of software development specifications. Several new methodologies are described, many of which are available on the commercial market. New is in particular the formaliza

Overview: The only book in evolutionary biology which focuses exclusively on how sexual selection works in humans.A comprehensive account of aspects of sexual selection that are unique to humans.Explains how se.The present book aims to examine how sexual selection works in the human species. Almost all scholarly effort focuses on sexual selection in non-human species and extrapolates the findings to the human one. However, human mating has a unique pattern not found in any other species, namely parental influence over mate choice. Across preindustrial societies, the typical pattern of long-ter
